Incoming Manchester United defender Lisandro Martinez has previously named one Liverpool forward as the most difficult he has faced in his career.

With Liverpool spending an initial £64m on Nunez this summer, Firmino admittedly faces a battle to win back his first-choice status in Klopp’s starting XI after an injury-plagued campaign last year. In addition, he is a player who moves very well and, on his back, with the ball, it is very difficult to take it away from him. The Brazilian started in attack for the Reds when they travelled to Ajax in the Champions League group-stages back in October 2020, with a Nicolas Tagliafico own goal earning Jurgen Klopp ’s side all three points.

Following Lisandro Martinez's transfer to Manchester United, a lot has been said about the Argentine's apparent lack of height.
